Warning about JCE

Gateway
1

Hello!

Since I rebootet the host I see a red warning after logging in.

"The unlimited strength JCE policy files are not properly installed."

Do I have to do so?

Kind regards

Which version of Java are you using? Are you using Oracle (SUN) or OpenJDK?

Kind regards,

# java -version
java version "1.8.0_152"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_152-b16)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 25.152-b16, mixed mode)

This is SUN Oracle I guess.

There are two folders in /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_152/jre/lib/security/policy,
limited and unlimited and in both are a local_policy.jar and a
US_export_policy.jar

It advised to use OpenJDK and not use SUN Oracle. OpenJDK does not
require a separate export policy.

Before starting to experiment with a non standard installation, it's
best to first start with a standard installation by following the
installation steps closely.

If you really must use Oracle JDK, you can download the Java
Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy
Files here:
